Healing Brush glitch

Ever since updating to CC 2019, the healing brush has several problems.  Sometimes it lags, but more often I have to duplicate my efforts.  I can go over an area and it literally does nothing, despite successfully selecting a reference point.  The tool/cursor moves around but I have to do the exact same action all over again.  It will also sometimes select an area on a different part of the image than what I just told it to with the selector and then I have to go back, and do it over again that way.  Besides being extremely frustrating, over the course of retouching many files, this extra time adds up and greatly diminishes overall productivity (and sanity!).

Can Adobe just fix this problem (and the Open GL - Liquify problem too!) already please.  I pay WAY too much every month to have these programs and nothing being done to fix the problems created with the new and inferior version of PS.

      This is for anyone else with this exact problem! I had found the solution ages ago for me and then it started happening again and it took me awhile to remember what it was. Are you ready for this? Make sure rulers are not visible. That's command-R on Mac. Instantly fixes the lack of responsiveness and the lines dragging between clicks. May not work for everyone but certainly worth a try!

      I can't believe this is actually the solution to this issue.. but it is! I have been getting so frustrated with the brush healing tool's dark marking getting stuck after applying it. I disabled the ruler (as explained above) and it is no longer doing it. Wow. Thank you!

      Can Adobe just fix this problem

      This is a user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping

      by.

      Also if you assume a bug exists you may want to actually provide the pertinent information.

      Please read the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

      As for 

      the Open GL - Liquify problem

      Are you blaming Adobe but not Macintosh?

      And are you employing the work-around?

      Known issues - Running Photoshop CC on macOS 10.14 Mojave

      Could you please post screenshots including the pertinent Panels to illustrate the Healing Brush issue?

      Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on this issue?
